Thomas Bryan and Mike Gourley in the Wellington Access Radio studio Tune in to Thomas Bryan as he explores the diversity of disability issues, with co-host Mike Gourley. No Labels is a programme about your community with a focus on accessibility for all. The show looks at services which might assist you, and highlights topics and challenges that might pose barriers for older people, or those living with or experiencing disability. In each programme we interview someone from the community whose role, paid or voluntary, provides topical and current information relating to our community. Each show has a disability/accessibility focus and the issues this might pose for our community. Guests share about their role in the community, a little about themselves and their favourite music. Tune in every week, Tuesdays, at 1pm.
